Customer Reviews

my uses: decorative accents only, no lengthy missives
pros: smooth, metallic color; looks cool
cons: not a true fire engine red, but much softer in color more like a dark pink; the barrel is narrow if you prefer a wider grip; the ink did not write well or smoothly on the back of a photograph / photo paper, but it seems to perform fine on regular paper.
repurchase: no, I really wanted this to work on the backside of photo paper

This pen is really lovely! It writes very smoothly, and the metallic ink is pretty. Although it is a more expensive than the similar Sakura Metallic Pens which are about half the price of a Slicci. The Sakura are just as metallic and perform very well, but write with a slightly wider 1.0mm line. The Slicci is nice for finer details and writing I think. This is a nice addition to the Slicci line, and would compliment the Sakura Metallic pens well. Great for holiday greeting cards and decoration.

I like the Pentel Slicci line of pens and that goes for the.08 metallic colors. The pen size is a little smaller than I typically like but it feels right for this pen. The 8 color set is one of the few sets of pens on Jetpens.com that you get a break in price for buying as opposed to buying them individual. It is cheaper for the 8 pack so if you are going to get a few of the colors it is worth it to get all 8. I was very happy with all of the colors but the blue happened to surprise me and stand out over the rest. I usually am not a fan of blue ink but in this metallic set I love it. The silver also was quite surprising. All of the colors do have a strong metallic look to them and lay a very even line. And I have never experienced any skipping with the Slicci line of pens in general. This set included.

My new favorite pen. (:

I fell in love with this pen, the ink, the flow, the color and the size, are perfect. :)

Slicci has the least metallic ink I've ever seen in a supposedly metallic pen. And it's a very small pen for the price. Sure, it's cute, but not worth the money.
I've only tried gold & silver Slicci but I'm not going to buy any more metallic Slicci pens because there are so many better pens on this site for half the price of this one.
